  • 2014-15 Sustainability Report
    Historic Royal Palaces Sustainability Report 2014/15 Sustainability Report 2014/15 Sustainability information is reported freely by Historic Royal Palaces although publication is not required under the Royal Charter, contract with the Department of Culture, Media & Sports and Charity regulations we are governed by. This is the third year we are publishing our records and actions on the sustainability topic. However there are still limitations with the availability at a granular level and the accuracy of HRP’s sustainability data. We continue to work with all stakeholders to improve data gathering process and quality of information. Energy consumption figures are based on billed amounts and are therefore subject to adjustments in subsequent periods. 1. Our approach to sustainability Historic Royal Palaces is committed to the values of sustainability in the work it undertakes to help everyone explore the palaces and estates it looks after and in the management of its operations. Conservation is at the heart of HRP’s mission, so managing the palaces and the estate with as little environmental impact as possible is important to us. Through our conservation work, we give our buildings, interiors, collections, designed historic landscapes and natural landscapes, species and habitats a future as long and valuable as their past, for the benefit of future generations. We strive to embed sustainability in HRP’s work culture by launching initiatives that encourage good sustainability behaviours with staff (i.e. switching off electronic equipment, setting computers & printers settings to minimise paper waste, improving recycling facilities) and by ensuring that sustainability thinking forms part of project planning mandates and is delivered at a local level through the budgeting process (i.e.

As a bridge between HRP’s overarching Cause and Principles and CCC’s operational guidelines and procedures, it guides everything we do. The collection consists of items owned by Historic Royal Palaces (HRP) along with items under the care of the Royal Collection Trust and in-situ at the HRP-managed palaces because we can show them in their original or early contexts. The Royal Armouries and many other lenders also own items. For simplicity, we use the term ‘the Collection’ to encompass them all, as conservation care covers all the objects in all the collections. CCC is an international leader in conservation practice and research, so the policy recognises our responsibility to share our discoveries.
